The Carollites of St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College (SVGCC) won the 2023 Christmas Carolling Contest, which took place on December 19th, 2023 at Russell’s Auditorium.
The contest dubbed Spirits Lifted saw participation from several choirs.
In a press release, the SVGCC stated its group of 30 artists impressed the crowd, online viewers and judges, with their melodic performance of Carol of the Bells, on their way to capturing the Best Traditional Song title.
“Their original song, written by Utamu “Bongo Prime” Rose, was also well received and brought about nostalgia as the choir reflected on the “old time days” during their energetic delivery,” the release added.
“For taking the top spot, the SVGCC Carollites walked away with the Glen Jackson Challenge Trophy, the first-place trophy, a voucher for lunch at La Vue Boutique Hotel and Beach Club, and a $3,000.00 cash prize,” the release stated.
The SVGCC Carollites Choir Coordinators are Ishanta Mc Master-Cummins and Disel Cupid. Ronnie Richardson is the Choir Consultant, and Kalique Peters is the Choir Director.
The SVGCC thanked all the officers and the singers and dancers.
